October 13, 2019 Hockey from Across the Pond - Episode 12
Patrick Williams is my guest as the show becomes AHL centric.
Patrick has covered the AHL since 2001, writing for various outlets and in my opinion is the #1 authority on the development league.
Today's show covers a lot of aspects of the AHL including the schedule, the landscape of the league and the work of Dave Andrews.
You can find Patrick's work at the NHL.com for whom he writes an AHL notebook and link to his other work including the (Around the A) podcast mentioned on the show below.
